9.08 Gigs Wiped Out By 0.3 Cigs

The world’s fastest internet speeds were clocked for 5 hours over an experimental internet line called Internet2. Data travelled at 9.08 Gigs per second across 30,000 kilometers for about 5 hours.

Last Wednesday though, a homeless man’s unfinished cigarette carelessly tossed on an old matress knocked out service on the experimental corridor between New York and Boston. Hopefully it will be restored soon.
